As some parameters are not settable, operation of setting these parameters on the display unit will be deemed as invalid or impossible by the controller.

9 Controller Charging And Discharging Related Parameters 1) All voltage values are based on 12 volt system settings. For example for a 24 volt system most parameter setting will need to be doubled. 2) Tap the up or down key to select parameter to be set then tap the right arrow button and the parameter or sign will flash continue to tap the up or down button then tap the ok button again to confirm setting. 3) For parameters on the current menu, the ones highlighted are setable, while the ones underlined are not Lcd Screen Backlight Setting Displayed item/ parameter Description BackLight-T: ON The LCD screen is lit constantly BackLight-T: 20S The setting range of LCD screen backlight time is 1 to 600s Enter into setting menu and tap up or down to move to backlight-t : 20s Tap ok to enter into the setting mode and tap up or down to modify the value within the setting range on indicates the screen will be constantly lit and the range for backlight time will be 1 to 600 seconds.

10 10.5 Load Modes Load mode setting icon LOAD OFF <Mode> Manual Load state Load mode 1) If the characters above the <mode> are on, it indicates that the load is switched on and off indicates it is switched off 2) Tap the ok key to enter into load setting parameter and below the <mode> the display will flash use the up down keys to select any of the load modes then tap ok to confirm setting. 3) Press and hold ok in any menu but not in setting mode: if the current mode is manual mode pressing and holding the key will switch the load on and off. If the current load mode is not manual mode pressing and holding the ok key will cause the display to skip to the load mode setting interface and a reminder will pop up telling the user in this mode, pressing and holding the key will not switch on/off the load. 4) Note: this parameter is ineffective for controllers without loads. Load mode Mode characters Sole light control mode Light+On Light control + time control mode 1 to 14H Manual mode Debugging mode Normal on mode Light+ 01H... Light+14 H Manual Debug Normal On Description The solar panel voltage is lower than the light control on voltage, and after a preset time delay, the controller will switch on the load; The solar panel voltage is higher than the light control off voltage, and after a preset time delay, the controller will switch off the load. The solar panel voltage is lower than the light control on voltage, and after a time delay, the controller will switch on the load. From this point on, the load will work for a preset period of time (1 to 14 hours) before being switched off. In this mode, whether it's day or night, users can press and hold the "OK" key to switch on or off the load; this mode is often used in some special occasions or during commissioning. As long as the solar panel voltage is lower than the light control on voltage, the controller will immediately switch on the load; As soon as the solar panel voltage gets higher than the light control off voltage, the controller will immediately switch off the load. This mode is usually used during system installation and commissioning. This mode is suitable for applications requiring 24-hour operation, and after being switched on, the load keeps outputting in this mode Static Data Statistics icon TOTAL ANALYSI DAYS: 9 LVDC: 5 Number of operating days: 9 Number of over-discharges:5 Including total charging amp-hrs, total discharging amp-hrs, total power consumption, numbers of operating days, over-discharges and full-charges

COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Symptoms The screen won't light up after being turned on The screen is stuck at "Connecting..." The fault indicator flashes quickly Causes and solutions Check whether the communication cable has the right core order, the connection is properly done and the controller functions normally, etc. Some abnormality occurs to the controller. Check the error code, pinpoint the cause, analyze and solve it. The communication indicator flashes slowly The bluetooth interface displays: "Disconnect" Communication between the display unit and controller is abnormal. Check the connection cable and controller. The Bluetooth communication status is shown as: 1) The mobile App is not connected to the controller; 2) The device is visible to the mobile App's search, but the problem still lingers on. Check the cable connecting the display unit and the controller; 3) The device is invisible to the mobile App's search. Check whether it has been paired with some other mobile phone; (Note: this menu is only available to the display units with the optional bluetooth function) The contents of this manual are subject to change without prior notice.
